The Galaxy S9 is expected to be the first phone to feature a new Snapdragon 845 processor, and based on our benchmarks of that mobile processing platform, we're expecting to see faster performance over last year's Galaxy models (though it looks like the iPhone will retain its title as the fastest smartphone available).

The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC, which may now sound outdated because of the Snapdragon 835, but is still faster than the chip that powered some of the best phones from last year, including, Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.

But don't let the phone's specs on paper fool you; when you combine that snappy dual - core A8 processor and 1 GB of RAM with a comparatively low - resolution 720p display and a silky smooth platform like iOS, the result is a surprisingly fast phone that topped all other flagship models last year in key performance tests.

The iPhone X uses the same processor that's inside of the iPhone 8, and there's no doubt that Apple will release a new phone next year with an even faster processor, and same with the year after that.

The 8MP camera on the back of the Tab S2 8.0 is hardly up to par with even those found in Samsung's high - end phones last year, though it does have a fast f / 1.9 aperture and the same camera interface when you power it up.

To put it bluntly: The Moto X feels faster than many of the quad - core phones I've used in the past year.

the fingerprint sensor works wonders and it's really fast in any position, the best fingerprint sensor in the market the User Interface (UI) used by Huawei (EMUI) is a little bit far from a regular pure Android experience and is heavily personalized by Huawei, over the last few years it has been getting cleaner and cleaner but they still have some changes to do, I personally really like it and find some of it's options really useful what else can I say, it's a really great Android phone and it's worth every penny

Case in point, the Mi A1 will get Oreo by the end of the year, which is not exactly fast (but still miles better than what budget phones typically get).

As we saw last year, a phone sporting 6 GB of RAM wasn't necessarily faster than an iPhone that only had 2 GB of RAM onboard.

This year's flagship phones like Samsung's Galaxy S9 look set to be fast, based on preview benchmarking tests of Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 845 chipset.

If you're already spending that much on a phone, you should probably try to save up the extra hundred for the Pixel 2, which adds a faster Snapdragon 835 processor, double the storage, an improved camera with optical image stabilization, and the promise of an additional two years of platform updates.

outside of certain test cities, but if you're planning to keep the phone for a couple of years, you won't enjoy faster speeds as they roll out nationally.

The S5 is as fast as you'd expect — Samsung has ensured that its flagship phone is one of the most powerful on the market for a number of years now, and the S5 is no different.

A big part of Samsung's marketing over the last year has been the inclusion of Fast Wireless Charging in their phones.

2016's iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus remained two of the fastest phones on the planet even a full year after they released.

The Google Pixel wowed the world as one of the best Android phones around last year, and the Pixel 2 improves on that with an even better camera, waterproofing, and faster hardware.

Fast forward a year, phones were getting bigger and the concept of premium phone was born.

Sony has improved almost every aspect of last year's phone, and even improved upon the recently released Xperia XZ Premium too, with a faster, more consistent camera experience, and more features that make sense.

From what it appears, OnePlus 5 will pick up from where last year's OnePlus 3T left off and become the fastest Android phone in terms of performance benchmarks.

The gorgeous OLED screen, the fantastic camera, and the lightning fast performance add up to our phone of the year.
